I don't think it was as big in the UK as it was in mainland europe.

I think in most cultural output, whether it is tv or comics or movies, british art is more like american art than it is like european art. There are some aspects of british art that are more european, but overall it leans closer to american, I think. Visually, certainly, but also tonally a lot of the time.

I always found american cartoons and comics more accessible than translated european cartoons and comics. Even with the language difference removed, the visual style of european comics always felt less comfortable and foreign to me.

Yeah, but you Brits a psuedo-europeans. Like the cousin that's a little different, and makes family gatherings awkward, with your funny money and history of beating up other Europeans when they travel to new exotic lands.
